This place is an explorers dream. If you don't mind trying new lines and having to walk a little this place is sick. (good)

I never though nozawa was that good.

For people who want to start getting into the trees, go under and around the quad near the top (not the very top one though.) Pitch at about 22 degrees, but it is well spaced and will give you an idea of how

Nozawa has a great choice of runs, so many in fact that I ended up getting a little lost on a day when it was snowing heavily.

Mogul courses are challenging, jumps plentiful, and runs extensive.

The town is attractive, small and cosy, and well worth the visit in itself. Architecture is very Japanese (as opposed to ghastly versions of European Chalets etc that can be found at many other resorts).
